OMG!!!! Im kinda scraed now, those poor people might have a water shortage! And all because of stupid climate change!! I sure hope we wont have a shortage of water, no one deserves this

Hopefully this wont happen because this could be a disaster. the water shortage will also wipe outhe worlds economy

Savard, Samantha said...

I do not think that people could a possible water shortage in the year 2050. Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad are among those most affected by water shortages. The study forecast shows that 119 million people would face water shortages in 2050 in the Ganges River delta and plain alone. India doesn ot lack water, but it sruggles to perserve water from the wet season to the dry season.

WOW! That is scary, I can't imagine having a water shortage...I hope we don't have one! That would be soo bad, especally since we need a lot of water. Actually each person needs 376 liters, that's average. I hopoe we don't become one of the 1,000,000,000 people that aren't going to get 100 liters.

Peters,Jennifer said...

@Courtney
I agree. That is really scary and very stupid that they have to go through all that just because of a climate change! Your definiteyl correct; non one deseves that!

Rembold,Abby said...

Thats scary. You couldnt even live. That would be terrible. I feel bad for those countries.

Rembold,Abby said...

@ jenn

awh. that is so sad!:(

well we have to wait and see if it really happens. alot of people are affected by it already so it wont really change that much. i think we should try harder to save water in our invironment so it will not have so much harm to the world when it happens.

Lamping Ally said...

That would be horrible to have a water shortage! I don't fully understand how we are going to have a shortage but i do know that it scares me... :(

Lamping Ally said...

@ Courtney (:
I know isn't it crazier how just a climate change can effect so much that we will have a water shortage!

LaGrangeBonnie said...

That is sad, and think about the water for life video too. How the people in Africa don't have clean water to drink. The same thinge is happening in Haiti. Tons of people don't have clean water and in 2050 there will be more and more people without water. It is so hard to think poeplego with such minimal water everyday since we take it for granet.

more than 1,ooo,ooo people will face severe water sourtages by 2050 due to the severe weather changes. those poor people will not have water for drinking.

kallmeyer, bridget said...

I hope that the scientests are not right about the water sortege in 2050 or that by mid-century some 993 million city dwellers will live with less than 100 leters of water.

jill stange water and bathing

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ David
I agree this could become a world wide problem because every country is interdependent in some way! This seems a little like the black death, a huge problem that could effect everyone and kill many poeple!!!

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

The shortage threatens sanitation in some of the world's fastest-growing cities but also poses risks for wildlife if cities pump in water from outside. It will be scary because if it does happen people are always talking about how we need water. Which we do, bbut if you think about it today alot of people dont drink water like they did. Usually its pop or something. What do you think? Do you think it will make a difference or do you think it doesnt really matter if alittle water is short?

@courtney mauricio
i agree with you that this is a very scary situation!!!!!!!!!!! i cant beleive that a climent change can do so much harm. i hope it doesnt, wel at least i hope it waits to happen till i die of old age

Anonymous said...

I am kinda scared now! Now those poor people have water shortage and they will pretty much die! All because of stupid climate change and how can a climate change water? I sure hope this water shortage stops, nobody wants it od deserves it!

Anonymous said...

@courtny That is a scary thing! I hope the water shortage stops! I am hopeing we can do something to help but idk! do you have any ideas?

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ Anna
I think really, all we can do is to use less water, keep our water clean,and use more eco friendly products.

Anonymous said...

@courtney I agree! Thanks for the idea's!

Moehring,DeeAnna said...

This is so scary and its wierd how they predicted that the water shortage would be in 2050 all because of the climate changes. Nobody would be able to live if we run out of water ....

Moehring,DeeAnna said...

@ courtney mauricio
i agree no one deserves this, this is horrible.

bader,lindsay said...

those people might have a water shortage. but it is all because of the climate change. but i hope that we can help them to get water to them.

bader,lindsay said...

sam, that is alot of people that is going to have a water shortage.

Sydney,Vest said...

wow!! that would really stink,,,because once it starts to go down hill it most likey wont stop. so when we are around 53 this water shortage will happen. I really hope this doesnt happen.

hutson,cody said...

This would be so disastis because if this did happen so many peple would die from dehydration. This would decrease the earth's population by tons.

hutson,cody said...

@Maricio,Coutney

I agree no one deserves this.

Anonymous said...

That is very scary. If we have a shortage of water we have a shortage of lives. We need water to live and if you us water to cook and bath then you need enough for the whole family to drink.

@Courtney Mauricio
Well we can't control the climate change. It is the earth but we can do things to help preserve our water like taking short showers and turning off running water.

Garvey, Emily said...

That's scary, I can't imagine having a water shortage. I hope we don't have one! It could kill many people!

stalbaum,lauren said...

That's really scarry!! but if they think it is because of the climate change, why dont people just stop the climate???

johnson, allison said...

Andie said...

I hope this won't happen. Everyone needs water to survive.

alyssa weber said...

-yes some people face a possible water shortage in the year 2050
-my thoughts.
*OMG people now have trouble getting water as it is
*how bad can it get
*how will people manage

ANDREW REIS,
NO. It risk that people and wild lifre of dying.Adding on the impact of climate change, an additional 100 million people will lack what they need for drinking, cooking, cleaning, bathing and toilet use.

alyssa weber said...

@kallmeyer,bridget
i do not undersytand what you meen when you write
mid-century some 993 million city dwellers will live with less than 100 leters of water.

Reis, Elizabeth said...

I bet there will be. And remember, only 3% of water is fresh water that we can use. A lot of people already have a shortage of water. I'm glad it didn't really say anything about the US though, but still I feel bad.

cirkovic, daniel said...

Wow I thought 100 liters is a lot but it fills up a bathtub only. That will not be much for one person. From that Jay Z video we watched showed how much water is avaiable in the world but now with a shortage many people will be thirsty. I hope they find a way to fix this.

Reis, Elizabeth said...

@Andie
Yes, we do need water to survive. But, 100 liters isnt too bad....It's enough to survive on, definitely. Just the minimum.

Jenkins,Tom said...

i say world popultion conttral.

which wold you rather have? 5billon misibal/starving/dying people or 3-4 billon happy and calm people?

then agin these disaters are contraling the contral, but what about the low water?

Calderon, Heidi said...

This is very sad about what will happen to the water amountage just because of the climate change that is stupid. i dont think that anybody who lives on this earth should go through any of this because it doesnt help any it just makes everything worse and worse in the world. And i also hope that this water shortage doesnt affect us in 2050.

Dupont, Noah said...

Not good, not good at all. I know that there is a flaw with this plan, mostly because it has been thought of before and there is some sort of flaw, but here it is. Why don't they pump water from the ocean into a purification plant and transport it to the cities? It can't be THAT tough.

Also when you think about it, its a demented world we live in. People that hate other because of how they look. People hate each other because of their beliefs. Most of all, we need a job, and to pay money for things that we ABSOLUTELY NEED to SURVIVE AND LIVE.

Calderon, Heidi said...

@ Lizzy
Yes i also do agree with you 100 liters isnt bad at all but it would be better if we had no water shortage and if everything just went back to normal for everyone in the world.

Dupont, Noah said...

@Jenkins, Tom
Okay, first of all, that I have to say is pretty cruel.
Secondly we don't reproduce THAT fast, it takes years for us to, well you know, and then months. And then people are dying alot, without the disasters and everything.

dacoda said...

now lets hope that there will never be a water shotage even thow it is ;possible.

wessels,kelsey said...

Wow i can belive there could be a water shortage!!!!! a CLIMATE CHANGE COULD CAUSE THE WATERshortage that pretty stupid i think!! hopefully we wont have a shortage!!
